This video captures a few exciting laps in a Honda Civic EG, powered by a B18C engine and transmission producing 165whp, as it chases Russell's B16A CRX on the Collie Motorplex Long Track. Russell's CRX features a built B16A with aggressive cams, a 9200rpm limiter, a close-ratio transmission, and a plated LSD. Despite Russell running on older, worn tires for his first time on this track, the Civic was able to match his straight-line speed in most areas, occasionally being outpaced by the CRX. Russell achieved a commendable 1:22.9 lap time on the day, a strong performance for a debut at this circuit. The driver of the Civic holds a personal best lap time in the low 1:21s, indicating a potential for even faster laps from Russell once he upgrades his tires.
The Honda Civic EG's setup includes MCA Reds Coilovers (16kg front, 10kg rear), a Honed Developments Roll Centre Correction Kit, Porsche Boxster 986 Brembo front brakes with Honed Adaptors, and Advan A050s tires (215/50/15 front, 205/50/15 rear).
